Who is responsible for the expenses associated with the on-site training after the initial Caring Transitions training program?

According to Caring Transitions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, while Caring Transitions does not charge a fee for the on-site training program, the franchisee is responsible for covering their own expenses. This on-site training is required to be attended within 90 days of completing the initial training program and consists of five days of training at a regional location conducted by an experienced franchise owner.

This means that a prospective Caring Transitions franchisee must factor in the costs of travel, lodging, food, and any other incidental expenses associated with attending the on-site training. These costs are in addition to the initial investment required to start the franchise, which includes the initial franchise fee and other startup costs. It is important for franchisees to budget accordingly and plan for these expenses to avoid any financial strain during the early stages of operating their Caring Transitions franchise.

Franchisees should inquire about the typical location of the regional training, to help estimate travel costs. Understanding these financial responsibilities upfront is crucial for making an informed decision about investing in a Caring Transitions franchise. This is a fairly standard practice in the franchise industry, where franchisees typically bear the costs of their own training-related expenses.
